The configuration is:
* RGMII, both ports
* arge0 - connected to PHY4 as a dedicated port (CPU port)
* arge1 - connected to the switch ports
I've verified this on my routerstation pro board.
* Add the i2c bitbang bus;
* Add the etherswitch/rtl8366rb drivers;
* "fix" the USB GPIO configuration so USB actually works.

The AP93 has:
* AR7240 - mips24k processor with integrated 10/100 switch and
various other peripherals;
* AR9283 - 2x2 2.4GHz 802.11n (with calibration data in flash);
* 64MB RAM;
* 16MB SPI flash.
The switch code detects as an AR8216 at the present moment, which isn't
_entirely_ strictly true. However, the MII/MDIO routing in AP93.hints
works - the arge0 MAC connects to PHY4 in the switch, but via the
switch internal MDIO bus. The switch connects to arge0's MDIO bus,
but only to export the switch registers.
Thanks to stb and ray for the switch work, and ray for helping determine
what the correct switch hints should be for this thing.
some of the IPI mechanisms used by the common MIPS SMP code so we could use
the multicast IPI facilities, on GXemul as well as on several real hardware
platforms, and the ability to have multiple hard IPI types.
This seems to break at least my test board here (AR71xx + AR8316 switch
PHY). Since I do have a whole sleuth of "normal" PHY boards (with
an AR71xx on a normal PHY port), I'll do some further testing with those
to determine whether this is a general issue, or whether it's limited
to the behaviour of the "fake" dedicated PHY port mode on these atheros
switches.

1) Always implement missing bus space methods using a panic() stub rather
than a NULL pointer. This appeared not to trip up any existing device
drivers, but due to the nature of the devices I'm supporting locally,
I'm making use of some of the more obscure busspace methods, and
panic() is a preferred failure mode. For example, do this for the
setregion methods.
2) Hook up several existing busspace method implementations that were
provided in the file, but not actually present in the methods
structure. Especially, single-byte bus I/O routines. This should
allow bugs to be fixed in the Atheros 802.11 driver.
There are still some remaining unimplemented methods that would be
desirable to implement -- especially, 64-bit I/O calls that would
observably accelerate device performance on FPGA-based soft CPU cores
that are typically clocked an order of magnitude slower than
conventional hard core CPUs, but that remains for another day.

entirely of one machdep file lifted from the MALTA port, as well as
a low-level console and tty driver for the gxemul debugging console
device (the emulators stdio). As with many low-level embedded and
hypervisor console devices, it is polled only, so we drive TTY I/O
from a callout; we are perhaps a bit too aware of the MIPS physical
maps in order to attach the console before newbus comes to life.
The sample kernel configuration depends on an MD-based root file
system, which is not provided. However, any 64-bit, big-endian
userspace image (such as one generated for MALTA) should work.
This will hopefully be supplemented by additional device drivers for
gxemul-specific hardware simulations from Juli Mallett. We have
found oldtestmips quite useful for testing and improving aspects of
the MIPS port, so it's worth supporting better in FreeBSD.

* Flesh out the PLL configuration fetch function, which will return the PLL
configuration based on the unit number and speed.
* Remove the PLL speed config logic from the AR71xx/AR91xx chip PLL config
function - pass in a 'pll' value instead.
* Modify arge_set_pll() to:
+ fetch the PLL configuration
+ write the PLL configuration
+ update the MII speed configuration.
This will allow if_arge to override the PLL configuration as required.

* Add a new method to set the MII mode - GMII, RGMII, RMII, MII.
+ arge0 supports all four (two for non-Gige interfaces.)
+ arge1 only supports two (one for non-gige interfaces.)
* Set the MII clock speed when changing the MAC PLL speed.
+ Needed for AR91xx and AR71xx; not needed for AR724x.
Tested:
* AR71xx only, I'll do AR913x testing tonight and fix whichever issues
creep up.
TODO:
* Implement the missing AR7242 arge0 PLL configuration, but don't
adjust the MII speed accordingly.
* .. the AR7240/AR7241 don't require this, so make sure it's not set
accidentally.
Bugs (not fixed here):
* Statically configured arge speeds are still broken - investigate why
that is on the AP96 board. Autonegotiate is working fine, but there
still seems to be an occasionally heavy packet loss issue.

arge1 still works (it's the standalone PHY) but arge0 and the other switch
ports don't work. They're enumerated though, demonstrating that the
mdiobus abstraction is correctly working.
This is only done if the ARGE_MDIO option is included.
* Shuffle the arge MDIO bus into a separate device, that needs to be
probed early (use hint.argemdio.X.order=0)
* hint.arge.X.mdio now specifies which miiproxy to rendezvous with.
* Call MAC/MDIO bus init during MDIO attach, not arge attach.
This is done regardless:
* Shift the arge MAC and MDIO bus reset code into separate functions
and call it early during MDIO bus attach. It's required for
correct MDIO bus IO to occur on AR71xx/AR91xx devices.
* Remove the AR71xx/AR91xx centric assumption that there's only one
MDIO bus. The initial code mapped miibus0(arge0) and miibus1(arge1)
MII register operations to the MII0 (arge0) register space. The
AR724x (and later, upcoming chipsets) have two MDIO busses and
the second is very much in use.
TODO:
* since the multiphy behaviour has changed (where now a phymask of >1
PHY will still be enumerated), multiphy setups may be quite wrong.
I'll go and fix these so they still have a chance of working, at least.

* Move out the code which populates the firmware into ar71xx_fixup.c
* Shuffle around the ar724x fixup code to match what the ar71xx fixup
code does.
I've validated this on an AR7240 with AR9285 on-board NIC. It doesn't
yet load, as the AR9285 EEPROM code needs to be made "flash aware."
TODO:
* Validate that I haven't broken AR71xx
* Test AR9285/AR9287 onboard NICs, complete with EEPROM code changes
* Port over the needed BAR hacks for AR7240, AR7241 and AR7242 from
Linux OpenWRT. The current WAR has only been tested on the AR7240
and I'm not sure the way the BAR register is treated is "right".
The "fixup" method here is right when setting the BAR for local access -
ie, the BAR address is either 0xffff (AR7240) or 0x1000ffff (AR7241/AR7242),
but the ath9k-fixup.c code (Linux OpenWRT) does this when setting the
initial "fixup" BAR. It then restores the original BAR.
I'll have to read the ar724x PCI bus glue to see what other special cases
await.
* arge0 doesn't (yet) work via the switch PHY ports; I'm not sure why.
* arge1 maps to the WAN port. That works.
TODO:
* The PLL register needs a different (non-default) value for Gigabit
Ethernet. The board setup code needs to be extended a bit to allow
for non-default pll_1000 values - right now, those values come out
of hard-coded values in the per-chip set_pll_ge() routines.

This uses the new firmware(9) method for squirreling away the EEPROM
contents from SPI flash so ath(4) can get to them later.
It won't work out of the box just yet - you have to add this to

future use by the ath(4) driver.
These embedded devices put the calibration/PCI bootstrap data on the
on board SPI flash rather than on an EEPROM connected to the NIC.
For some boards, there's two NICs and two sets of EEPROM data in the
main SPI flash.
The particulars:
* Introduce ath_fixup_size, which is the size of the EEPROM area in
bytes.
* Create a firmware image with a name based on the PCI device identifier
(bus/slot/device/function).
* Hide some verbose debugging behind 'bootverbose'.
ath(4) can then use this to load in the EEPROM data.
This requires AR71XX_ATH_EEPROM to be defined.
* the openwrt code doesn't treat 0/0/0 any differently
from other bus/slot/func combinations.
* A "local write" function writes to the LCONF area, and
so I've added it.
* The PCI workaround at attach time uses this LCONF code,
which it already did ..
* .. but it is a 4 byte write, not a 2 byte write.
